Gutted that Amadou (of Amadou & Mariam) has died. Was going to see them live again next month. One of my most special concert experiences was going to a gig in the dark by them to replicate their experience of being blind #RIP

Happiness is getting your one negative Discogs review (a revenge rating, I should add) deleted after 4 years. 100% baby
A first for me - a store has requested I break the faulty vinyl I'm complaining about and send picture evidence of it. I must admit I'm finding it hard to destroy a record!
England in a football World Cup final. Heady days
I saw Stop Making Sense at the cinema last night. Wow! What a film, what a concert. Can't wait for the new vinyl
I was not expecting to enjoy Jessie Ware more than The National - but so be it!
Waiting in line for Beyoncé tickets is the new Waiting for Godot...
Joy of vinyl - I decided to get my son his first record (Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, MAAD City) only to discover when he opened it that it contained two copies of record 2 (ie sides C and D). What an introduction to the hobby!
Loving the new Little Simz - in with a shout for AOTY
Sons of Kemet, Nubya Garcia, and Little Simz at a festival later today
I was sat next to an 81-year-old Swedish woman on a boat today, and on talking to her found out she released her debut album on vinyl last year Need to check it out when I'm home again Greta Lindholm - Rhythm Voice
Bloody loving Get Back. So much gold in it. Going to have to rewatch it straight away...
I went to Oasis' Knebworth shows and loved them. But Liam's voice doesn't sound too hot on the recording, and not sure I need to drop so much money on the LPs. Earls Court 1995 - now that's a release I would buy like that, one of the best gigs I ever attended...
Just thinking it could be good to start Secret Santa for the internationals at least. Shipping is real slow currently so good to give everyone plenty of time. I know there's Thanksgiving but it's a bit late for the rest of us after that...
What a bloody amazing game of tennis. And what a winner!
Not one normally to feed the Ebay flippers, but v happy to have got a copy of my AOTY so far - Dave's We're All Alone In This Together. £35 shipped, which I reckoned would be price for Norway if it ever makes it here (Psychodrama never did). Just need my Mum to successfully bring it over on Monday (1st time I see her in 2 years too!) for it all to be sweet...
Not feeling this Sault album as much as the previous four. Just wondering if I'll regret not picking it up though...
Just booked my first gigs in 18 months - local jazz-ish singer Siril Malmedal Hauge in July and Ambrose Akinmusire in September. Beyond excited...
Damn, this new Sons of Kemet is smoking. Going to have to be a v v good album to beat this for album of the year...
Just broke my spending record on a single album by some distance
